Akagami: Nowadays, A Broken Hand is not Considered Cruel?

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

The official office of Admiral Hitsujiza;

Longinus is sitting on the seat, in front of the desk, two figures standing straight.

One is a marine with an "X" mark on his chin and a black eyepatch over his eyes, a man named Drake, who is currently a Vice Admiral in the Marine Headquarters.

The other is wearing a black and white spotted hat, with black eye bags at the marine's eyes; Trafalgar Law with Drake is also from the North Blue, as Vice-Admiral of the Headquarters.

"The most recent major event in the New World is that Kaido intends to take advantage of the weakness of the Whitebeard Pirates to launch a raid during this period. Only, his actions were blocked by Akagami down, the two sides of the pirates even fought a battle, the war situation is still unclear." Drake reported.

How do I feel that Akagami tends to evolve to the world police ... Longinus dismissed distracting thoughts and looked over to Law.

"In a peculiar town called Sleepy Hollow, it seems that there is a discovery of the sea pirate Aloof Red, and so on the nearby marine went to investigate, he has disappeared from that town, only one more story about the vampire." Law reported.

"Aloof Red? After all these years, has he finally stopped expecting pure gold?" Longinus tapped his index finger on the table, a crisp "thud" echoing through the room.

"Vampire? Did he really get that fruit?" Drake asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's very likely." Law nodded, "Aloof Red has disappeared for so many years, there are rumors that he just has been looking for that fruit, now he suddenly appeared, and left behind the legend about vampires, it seems to have really succeeded!"

Batto Batto no Mi - Mythical Zoan - Model: Vampire, a rare fruit that can suck blood to restore youth, even among the Mythical Zoan, is a scarce and powerful existence.

"Then it's a problem, if this kind of sea pirate of Aloof Red really regains youth, it will not be as peaceful as before, for the current pattern of the sea may cause unimaginable impact!" Drake said in a deep voice.

Longinus nodded slightly, "Continue to increase the pursuit, if you find his traces, be sure to report at the first time."

At that moment, a crisp knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in."

The one who pushed the door in was Kuina, who just returned from a mission to report on her duties.

As the "little sister" of Longinus' faction, Drake and Law have always taken good care of her.

"I heard that you had a little problem with this mission, is everything okay?" Drake asked with concern.

"Although the process has some twists and turns, but the ending is always no problem." Kuina said seriously and then looked to Longinus to report, "Admiral Hitsujiza, the former Shichibukai Crocodile has been put into the Impel Down."

Longinus nodded, "It's not detailed in Den Den Mushi, so tell us the whole thing again now."

"Yes!" Kuina, from the beginning of the monitoring of Desert King Crocodile, until Blackbeard broke out the real strength, did not hide the existence of Zoro and his party, only slightly downplayed their presence in this incident.

"That man actually has this kind of strength, really scary!" Drake's face was stony.

"From the fact that he calls himself Blackbeard, he may also have the ambition to replace Whitebeard!" Law also looked solemn.

"That is indeed an extremely dangerous character, Kuina, you are still reckless this time, even in the execution of the task, you should also pay attention to your own safety." Longinus criticized.

"I remember." Kuina nodded thoughtfully; she did not think at first that the man who called himself Blackbeard could be so strong!

After completing the routine debriefing, Drake and Law both walked out, but Kuina was left behind, opened her mouth with a feeling of wanting to say something.

"Kuina, do you have anything else?"

"Sensei, you ... forget it, it's nothing."

"Then go back and get some rest, don't push yourself too much."

"Thank you, sensei."

Kuina looked complicated and walked out while Longinus whispered to himself, "Red Count ... Blackbeard ..."

...

New World, Demon Island.

"Original Sin-sama, is this really okay? That woman, knows something after all." Eneru asked this.

"What she knows is what I want her to know."

"So Original Sin-sama has thought about it all?" Eneru shrugged and said, "Also I was overly concerned, that woman has never been careful to betray us, she does not have the courage yet."

"That's hard to say, although she is timid, but in many things, she does not lack courage."

"Original Sin-sama also think she will betray?" Eneru shivered in spirit, seemingly ready to make a move to eliminate the hidden danger.

"No, but I trust her quite a bit!" Apophis leaned on the throne, fingers gently tapping the armrest, "She may confess her identity under the guilt, but definitely will not go to lead the hatred, but will instead loudly proclaim our benevolence."

"Original Sin-sama, I can not quite understand, this kind of thing, what can be useful?"

"She has a group of 'helpful' companions, they will make the decision for her, and then, direct everything to me."

It has to be said, Apophis is too appreciate the straightforward nature of Luffy close to paranoia.

Because, this kind of people is too good at fooling!

They will only ever believe the answers they see and not think about whether the "truth" they see is "true".

As long as he can use it a little, you can get a great pawn, and that pawn is tied together with a vast network of interests.

On the other hand, Eneru's face is odd, "Original Sin-sama, you are deliberately intended to let those kids to sabotage our actions? Let alone whether they have the ability to do so, even if they do make it this far, what good will it do us?"

"Guilt and self-blame will keep beautifying one's image, and finally, tend to be perfect."

"Those brats actually have such potential that it's worth making Original Sin-sama make such a big investment?"

"Not just potential, in this world, there are not a few people who are qualified to be strong, if it's just to get powerful minions or allies, I don't need to go to such trouble." Apophis said in a deep voice, "What I really value, is their luck and their network of connections!"

"Luck?" Eneru's face was confused.

Apophis's mouth's corners under the mask rose slightly; Akagami is still too small-minded, but only one arm; he is ready to give them the entire foundation plus this life.

To achieve the ultimate goal, it doesn't matter what you give up an identity; he has already prepared the whitewash script, waiting for the actors to be in place one by one.

See Eneru is still confused; Apophis said, "Well, here it is so far, her matter, you should not interfere for the time being."

"Yes!"

After Eneru left, the palace became cold again.

After a long time, a breath suddenly appeared under the steps.

"Apophis!" The figure clad in a marine coat said so.

PS: The second chapter has stuck to me; I probably need another half hour to finish writing, I'm ashamed (… • ́︿ • ̀.).
